Joanne made an adorable hand stitched Tea Cozy in the shape of a cat. We zoomed on our computers while I opened the present she shipped from Florida. There were boxes of tea as well but I don’t have a pic. Her thinking is I can do porch knitting with

friends while we sip tea. I love the cat cozy. Thank you Joanne for the creative handmade cat to keep the teapot warm.

Joanne sent this photo to me this evening

Playful Tuxedo Cat with Yarn Ball -Guest Blog

Sunday morning Laura and family went to swim. She sent me this photo.

“**This was at the Worthington Community Center desk” Laura wrote to me.**

The LEGO website states reasons why this Tuxedo Cat is the best pet

“5. Your wool is safe with us

Cats love nothing more than unravelling carefully wound balls of wool. Hard to know why really, but it does look kind of fun while they’re at it. We can say with certainty that, with the LEGO Ideas Tuxedo Cat, your grandmother’s knitting bag is safe.”

Bob is our 17 year old feral cat. He doesn’t have a tail. Granddaughter Anna named him.

He’s really Steve’s cat as he has fed and watered him all this time. I’ve pitched in on occasion but Steve had dedicated himself to his care.

Here’s Bob the Cat. Steve takes such good care of him. I’m certain that’s why he’s lived so long.

It’s a long story but we were able to catch, fix and release two young cats years ago. Our 90 year old neighbor had cats who were fertile and she moved to an assisted living home but the cats remained next door.

This is a from 2017. Bob lets Steve pick him up sometimes. Here they are the front porch
